Prospective students

One of the primary objectives of our society is to increase the number of African students at the University of Oxford. We support prospective applicants from Africa or with African background through assistance during their application process. We can match candidates with fellow African students who have studied or are studying at Oxford in the same academic area.

This may be of significant importance for students arriving at the Oxford for the first time. Having a friend on arrival can help facilitate many things!

What the scheme offers:

Match with a mentor in Oxford of similar regional background / in similar study field

Review of application documents to provide tentative feedback

Support with questions about the academic programmes and life in Oxford

What the scheme does not offer:

Filling application form

Writing essays

Payment of application fees
